So this is more about inter-battle mechanics than the mechanics of an individual battle, as you were implying earlier. We don't honestly know the full mechanics of the MMORTS component of the game, so trying to extrapolate details on to the system from our perspective is inherently a flawed process. We can only really talk about the span of a single battle - which should roughly adhere to the RTS formula. What happens between battles and how empires and armies are managed is not yet known to us. In any case, a lot of this should be automated. I don't want to spend ten minutes of clean-up after a battle.

well yes, a single battle you are right..
about the mechanics - you can read about how it works basicly on http://dawnoffantasy.com/ 's book in the mmo page...
